ELECTRICAL SAFETY (EXTENSION CORDS)
(CONTINUED)
If you have any questions regarding the use of an
□
extension cord, please call our Customer Care line at
1-888-HD-HUSKY (1-888-434-8759).
NOTE: Use longer air hoses instead of long extension
cords. Your air compressor will run better and last
longer. If connected by an extension cord, ensure that
it is 12 gauge or thicker and length does not
exceed 100 ft.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION)
This air compressor is powered by a precision built electric
□
motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current).
Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial
□
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will
overheat. If the air compressor does not operate when
plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (SPEED AND WIRING)
The no-load speed of the electric motor varies by model and
□
specification. The motor speed is not constant and
decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage,
the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor's
horsepower rating.
□
A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power
tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance
will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can
support one power tool may not be able to support two or
three tools.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS)
This product must be groun
must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
□
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air
compressor is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet,
□
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
□
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you
□
do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or
if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded. This product is
not use an adapter with this product.
